And live in las vegas for action news is Monica Malpass and monica, vegas is nope for all kinds of action. And nothing will top what will happen tomorrow night. Reporter thats right jim. Las vegas is used to things like performances by Britney Spears and boxers happening in rings same istainously but vegas has never seen a political showdown like this one. Three actors debated by a mock interview, they posed at Hillary Clinton and donald trump and Moderator Chris Wallace so they could modify the sound and timing and everything. So much is on the line and its the third debate and ultimately important because of the scandalous weeks that both candidates endured. A st. Joes analyst agrees. By the end of this evening ill be blamed for everything that ever happened. Both clinton and donald trump need a home one in the debate. They need to fire up their bases and get out to fire up the vote. Professor ranal miller says its about looking president ial and trying to control the news cycle. Miller says that trump has to stop his scorched Earth Campaign approach. He comes off as someone out of control and feeding the other size and it distorts the message and confuses people. Lets go, lets beat this crook. Miller has a powerful message that is still resonating from people that he is running against washington and the establishment. Miller says though the Collateral Damage he suffered with the sexual accusations is deep but miller says he could still win if he can crisscrosses the United States. Stick to the message and show he is in control, quote president ial. People are scared on both sides. Clinton has a different set of challenges, she still cant get some voters to trust her and Bernie Sanders supporters including millennials may not come out. Under no circumstances Hillary Clinton. They cant support clinton they find her a tool of wall street and untrustworthy and all the other things. Miller says she has to hope that trump continues being trump so they focus on his defects. She needs to make people believe in her enough that they will actually do the last thing, pull the lever for whatever misgivings they have.

More than 100,000 students at 14 state universities in pennsylvania are bracing for the possibility of a faculty strike tomorrow morning. It is a real life course and labor strive that students could do without. Live at Westchester University tonight is action news reporter, jeanette reyes. What is the latest here. Reporter faculty for more than a dozen universities including westchester, say they spent more than a year rallying for a new contract. At issue is a heavier workload with no corresponding increase for faculty as well as retiring benefits and those new to the union. A strike beginning at 5 00 a. M. Across all campuses, that means more than 100,000 students will have their classes canceled unless a substitute teacher can be provided. That is difficult to do. The factory is not speaking to the media but they are told to show up to class tomorrow. Some have canceled classes but for the most part you are suppose to. Its a big deal. I think if a professor here are being treated unjustly, they have all the right to protest to get change. This is our university. We are what makes the state system and have just as much interest to make sure our faculty members have fair contracts and being negotiated with fairly. We are told that there is a complete cutoff with faculty and students and no emails or phone calls will be answered by professors until the strike is over and no one knows at this point if it will happen for sure or how long it will last.

Yes several records were broken not in philadelphia but allentown and reading both record highs of 85 degrees, trenton and wilmington record highs of 83. Things are changing by the weekend we have a reality check, this cold air that is bottled up over canada, the temperatures generally in the 30s that air mass will be headed our way by the weekend, it will be moderating. I think in four days people are complaining its too chilly and windy out there. Right now the wins from the south and it feels like summer, philadelphia 79 and the same in allentown and reading and lancaster 78 and wilmington 77 and the cool spot even cooler than the poconos is cape may with the wind off the ocean and air temperature is 69. Satellite 6 along with action radar showing the slow moving cold front, this is approaching our region on thursday. So what that will do is bring us some clouds and perhaps showers, but tonight will be clear early and like last night, could have patchy fog developing overnight lows typical of the normal highs for this time of year. 62 in the suburbs, philadelphia 66. That is our normal high for the middle of october. But tomorrow well do a lot warmer than that. The record high is 80 and looks like well shatter that in philadelphia. 85 degrees and allentown and trenton 85 degrees and same at Atlantic City airport and wilmington and reading hitting record highs of 84. A surge of win from the southwest and a picture of sun and clouds. And 85 degrees and then on thursday, this front moves closer and low pressure develops along it. And it brings us clouds with a few showers and temperatures really depend on where you are. North of this warm front Lehigh Valley temperatures likely not getting out of the 60s. South of the front likely in the 80s and philadelphia will be right on the border calling for a high of 78 degrees, but clouds with a few showers and more of the same on friday. So the exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast we wont even break a record well crush the record. 85 degrees feeling like summer and thursday still mild in philadelphia, 78 degrees but clouds with a few showers and friday some sunshine mixing with clouds and a chance of a shower at 73 degrees and look at saturday. The high only 58 degrees, it will be a lot cooler feel a lot cooler with the winds. Lots of clouds and sunday it brightens with sunshine and a cool day for the eagles, for the union with a high of 60 and the fall chill continues on monday and mostly sunny and 60 and tuesday mostly sunny skies with a high of only 59 degrees, enjoy temperatures in the 80s if you like summer we have one more day of it.

Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Cmohappy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. Pat toomey and donald trump theyre just wrong for the women of pennsylvania.
